For a while, I couldn't stand the reps that I have. Everytime I took a glance at my wrist, I saw a bunch of flaws and it bugged me. It bugged me really bad. And even though I hated those flaws, I constantly find myself giving in to reps. I am a fickle-minded person in some ways when it comes to purchasing stuff. So I like to try them on and see if I like them. And if I like them a whole lot, I would then go out and buy a gen. And that was what I did. I got a monster gen which I am very VERY happy about and I am already thinking which ones to get next.
I have owned previous gens before I got into reps. It is funny that those gens that I bought are just sitting there. The only reason why I am not giving them up is because of sentimental value. If I would have gotten the reps of the gens beforehand, NO WAY would I have bought them. Ah well.
If you like a watch very much, so much so that it drives you up the wall, can't stop thinking about it 24/7, by all means, if you have the ca$h, go splurge on a gen. I would do the same.
